These are the plans and notes for the series, ebook in ePub format and PDF format plans
You can open the ebook on Apple devices in Books, on Android e-readers or Google Books, or upload it to Kindle.
The series follows the making of a one-piece neck, fitting to the cigar box body, and creating and installing a piezo pickup. The series has set up and playing tips, music tabs as well
This is a 20" scale D-A-dd tuned instrument, which is far easier to build than my standard model, that is a joy to play.
The easiest version has a one-piece neck, and a body made from a cigar box you can find. The advanced version uses a soundbox made from fine hardwood and braced like a guitar.
